DELANEE CONNORS
Delanee lived on the East Coast in NY and CT, until the age of 15 when she moved to Colorado with her family. Before leaving the East Coast, she trained at New Cannan Mounted Troop, a junior calvary. The intensive school was both a riding and leadership program - a program that Delanee continues to draw from in her own practice. Based on a strong work ethic, her athletes learn horsemanship, riding, stable management, all while fostering that unique respect and connection that only a horse can give its rider!
Horses have always been a passion for Delanee, not only riding, but also as animals to learn from. Besides working with, and for, many hunter/jumper trainers in Colorado, Arizona and California, Delanee finds tremendous value in working with natural horsemanship trainers, and the skills that humans can learn that foster real and positive relationships with her equine partners.
